I've got a new Kobo Glo and am playing around with one of the few eBooks I already have, which is a PDF ("Agile Product Management with Scrum")

PDF is designed as a final/output format... it is absolutely atrocious as an input/middleman format.

Sounds to me like this is quite a technical book, with lots of figures/diagrams/other fancy typography (probably a bunch of sidebars, information boxes, formulas, etc. etc.), which is probably up there for some of THE WORST material to convert into EPUB without the original source documents.

You might be able to use k2pdfopt in order to chop the margins from the PDF, which might make the PDF fit slightly better on a smaller screen:

1. Use whatever software you want to use to convert the PDF > ePub.
2. Use Sigil to load the ePub for editing.
3. A/B compare the entire PDF to the entire ePub.
4. Fix any errors/formatting errors while A/B comparing.
5. Done!
